Have you noticed this about me, that I’m the opposite of normal?
For instance, I am the only person in Canada with a bug bite on her eye. In January.
In Canada, January means winter, which means cold, and snow, both of which we currently have.
Which does not mean there are no bugs apparently. You would think the bugs are all hibernating, or dead. Or in warmer climes.
But no.
The bugs, with their molecule-size brains, all have inbred directions to my house this time of year.
Once they’re in, they wait until I’m docile. Sitting down, or lying down somewhere. That’s when they attack and feast on me. Or sting me. Typically in a location that will impact some sort of essential sense, like sight.
So anyway, I took a Claritin. It’s supposed to reduce swelling and itch from bug bites and last 24 hours. The only other meds I have on hand is Benadryl NightTime which will make me groggy.
I don’t have time for groggy today. 😐
I have been directed by a blond minion to drive to here and there and everywhere today which is fine and dandy but not with my sight impaired so lets hope the swelling goes away soon so I can insert my contacts. And get the driving started.
It’s Thursday! How did this week fly by so quick?
I’m in naptown where bugs don’t hibernate they just come inside to get cozy with you so I totally feel your pain

An errant hockey puck to the face I might expect. A bug bite, not so much. Hope it clears up quickly!

I always tell my kids: There is no such thing as normal. If we were all “normal” we would all be robots. 😉
I’m sorry about your bug bite. They are viciously annoying.

Eh, normal is boring. It can also apparently be an enormous pain in the eye, though. At least you aren’t boring!

This week has flown by, hasn’t it. I guess trying to juggle too many things helps too.

Bugs DO hibernate in the winter. That is what you kitchen is for.

Oh dear! I feel your pain. Literally. I think I have a spider bite on my bum. Itches like crazy. Of course in FL bugs are year round nuisances.
